Is anyone else still watching. Seriously...the worse performances of last night got the top votes. I know the guys are cute but... Isn't it about the talent?

It's all about cute. The teenyboppers are voting, not us "old guys". I vote one time a night, they text for the whole 2 hours. I really want Crystal to win, I think she's really good. I'd buy her music in a heartbeat.

I really like Michael's style. Crystal is real good too.

I want Crystal to win. She is an original. She reminds me of Janis Joplin but has a good head on her shoulders. I'm glad Mike is gone. He seems to be full of himself.

I think it will come down to Lee and Crystal. Lee has been slow in "finding" himself, but now he's really doing great. And Crystal has a remarkable voice--there's no one like her. I really like her, except that nasty hair!

Ditto, but the hair is just a phase I'm sure, she has been improving her "style" with the money behind her.

I agree that Crystal reminds us of Janis... and I kinda like her - even her hair...
Lee's ok - at least he's better than Casey with the vibrato - yuk, I will say Casey is FANTASTIC on the guitar - or stringed instruments. But the judges are right in saying it's past time for him to lose the vibrato - it's irritating to listen to...
The first thing my DH said was that Michael will be fine because he already has a band...
I remember when Taylor Hicks won - he was such a big thing the year he beat out Chris Daughtry and Katherine McPhee - but he's virtually disappeared and I thnk (MHOO) that it's because he had a huge following of older fans and after he won they were expecting similar music to what he sang on the show and he didn't do anything like that...
But the duet last night with Lee and Crystal was great so I wouldn't say they were the worst..

I love that you asked this. Heres the thing...I want Crystal to win! I'm sold on her, but I like Lee too so if he gets it I won't be real upset. I like Crystals talent, heart, and even her hair. It just suits her personality. I was a Janis fan, but I think Crystal is more then just that. I was also a big Carrie Underwood fan and look where she is today. I wish the same for Crystal. If they have the talent they will be around whether they win or not. As for Cassie I started out being a fan, and not just because of his looks (didn't hurt) but I don't think he has what it takes. Go Crystal!

I don't think the talent was as good this year as in the past. I am sick of Kara and her ideas. I have been for Crystal since the auditions . I think Lee is just as good now and he has improved the most. Michael was okay but so sure of himself it turned me off.
